HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE MONITOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
Before you use the heart rate monitor, please read all
instructions on this page and the following page.
The heart rate monitor consists of two
components: the
chest strap and the
sensor unit.
See drawing 2 and
attach the chest
strap to the sensor
unit. Insert one of
the tabs on the
chest strap through
one end of the sensor unit. Make sure
to press the end of
the sensor unit
under the buckle on
the chest strap—
the tab should be
almost flush with
the sensor unit.
Next, wrap the heart
rate monitor around
your chest and attach the other end of
the chest strap to
the sensor unit.
Adjust the length of
the chest strap, if
necessary.
The heart rate monitor should be under
your clothes, tight
against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the
logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is rightside-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side.
The electrode areas are the areas covered by shallow
ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact
lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the
sensor unit to a position against your chest.

HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each
•
use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the heart rate monitor is not dried after each
use, it may remain activated longer than necessary,
draining the battery prematurely.
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Do
not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or
other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below
14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.
• Clean the sensor unit periodically using a damp
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.
HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the heart rate monitor is used with the console.
If the letters “PLS” appear in the PULSE display or if
the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low,
try the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate monitor exactly as described at the left. If the heart rate
monitor does not function properly when positioned
as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your
chest.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
•
self near the center of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm’s length of the console.

Page 8
• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical
conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.
• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced.
Follow the steps at the right to replace the battery.
Locate the battery cover
on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin
into the slot in the cover
and turn the cover coun
terclockwise to the
“open” position. Remove
the cover.
Remove the old battery
from the sensor unit.
Insert a new CR 2032battery, making sure
that the writing is on top.
In addition, make sure
that the rubber gasket is
in place in the sensor
unit. Replace the battery
cover and turn it to the
closed position.

TREADMILL OPERATION
THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the possi-
bility of your treadmill being damaged, always use
a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local REEBOK dealer or call 1-800806-3651 and order part number 146148.
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug.
Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.

UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi
cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

vision to establish a “university without walls” that
develops quality, researched, state-of-the-art fitness
programming for the fitness industry throughout the
world.
Working with the world’s best professionals, Reebok
University has created a host of original programs,
such as Step Reebok®, Walk ReebokSM, Slide Reebok
and Reebok City JamSM. The industry has adopted
Reebok programming as the “gold” standard. Our
guidelines and terminology are used by fitness professionals and participants around the world, and our
exceptional programming has been approved in the
United States by AFAA and ACE for continuing education credits.
WALKING AND CARDIORESPIRATORY
ENDURANCE
Scientific studies confirm that
walking at a moderate to brisk
pace can enhance aerobic fitness. Rippe and
his colleagues1found
that of 500 subjects
tested, 67% of the men
and 90% of the women
were able to reach their
target heart rates by
walking 4 to 4.5 miles
per hour.
WALKING AND REDUCED RISK FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
Several studies have found that regular walking at any
speed can increase HDL-C cholesterol (a high-density
lipoprotein which removes excess cholesterol from the
body) and can lower concentrations of blood triglycerides (a storage form of fat), thus reducing the risk for
SM
cardiovascular disease.
3
Duncan and his colleagues
concluded that exercise
does not have to be vigorous to reduce cardiovascular
risk factors. In other words, people who choose to
stroll rather than walk briskly can reduce their risk for
cardiovascular disease.
After studying the physical activity patterns of 17,000
Harvard alumni over a 20-year period, Paffenbarger
and his colleagues4concluded that walking as little as
five city blocks per day can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and walking 2 miles per day can
reduce the risk of a heart attack by 28% or more.
Therefore, while walking at a fast pace will improve
aerobic fitness, walking at any speed (slow or fast) can
reduce a person's risk for heart disease.
WALKING AND WEIGHT REDUCTION
Walking is an excellent activity for burning calories.
The steeper the incline and/or the faster the speed, the
more calories are burned. For example, a 150-pound
person walking at 3.5 miles per hour on flat ground will
burn about 300 calories per hour. This same person
will burn 400 calories per hour on a gentle 4% incline
and 500 calories per hour on a steeper 10% incline. If
this person speeds the pace up to 4 miles per hour on
level ground, 350 calories will be burned in one hour.
5
Pollock and his colleagues2found that middle-aged
men who walked at a pace of 3.5 to 4.5 miles per hour
for 40 minutes four times per week had the same car
diovascular improvements as men the same age who
jogged for 30 minutes three times per week. Although
the intensity of exercise was lower for the walkers than
the runners, the increased duration and frequency of
walking provided the walkers with similar aerobic benefits as the runners.
On the basis of current research, it seems clear that
walking at a moderate to brisk pace can be an excel
-
lent aerobic activity.
It should be noted that participants who do not wish to
walk at faster speeds can burn a comparable number
-
of calories by walking for longer periods of time.
WALKING AND BONE DENSITY
Osteoporosis is a major health problem in the United
States, affecting an estimated 15 to 30 million people.
An age-related disorder, osteoporosis reduces the
density of bones. This disease can be life-threatening
since many older people die as a result of complications suffered from broken bones. Adequate calcium in
the diet and weight-bearing exercises seem to reduce
the risk of osteoporosis.
30
Page 31
Several studies have reported that regular walking at
moderate to brisk speeds appears to increase bone
density. Specifically, Fradin and his colleagues6found
that 70-year-old subjects who walked at least 30 minutes per day had higher bone mineral content than
subjects who walked less than 30 minutes per day.
Jones and his colleagues7reported that sedentary
women (aged 30 to 61 years old) who began a regular
walking program and continued for one year increased
their bone density.
Since walking can be comfortably performed by people
of any age, walking appears to be practical and effective in reducing a person's risk for developing osteoporosis.
WALKING AND STRESS REDUCTION
During a 24-week study, not one of 59 participants
who walked five days a week at speeds between 3 and
5 miles per hour sustained a walking-related injury that
necessitated consulting with a physician. Carroll and
his colleagues
10
reported that 14% of the elderly subjects participating in a walking study suffered trainingrelated orthopedic injuries, mostly to the lower leg and
foot. The majority of injuries occurred in the group as
-
signed to "fast walking."
It is important to note that all forms of exercise have
some degree of risk associated with the activity.
Generally, the less mechanical stress on the musculoskeletal system, the less risk of becoming injured.
Because of the low-impact nature of walking, the incidence of injury appears to be low when compared to
other high-impact activities.
There are many stressors in today's society, including
economic concerns, work-related pressures and the
need to balance career goals with home responsibilities. People who are unable to cope with these types
of stressors are often tense and anxious, and may
even become physically or psychologically ill.
Researchers have found that exercise is one way to
help people reduce stress. For example, subjects who
engaged in a regular aerobic conditioning program and
who altered their diets experienced significant gains in
self-concept, feelings of well-being and reduced
depression.
8
Cramer and his colleagues9specifically examined the
effect of brisk walking on mildly obese sedentary
women and found that walking improved general psychological well-being. Walking therefore appears to be
an effective tool for improving psychological well-being.
WALKING AND INJURIES
Walking is often associated with a low injury rate.
Walking is considered to be a "low impact" activity because one foot remains in contact with the ground at
all times. Walking at speeds of 3 miles per hour produces vertical impact forces that are around 1.25 times
body weight, whereas running at 7 miles per hour increases vertical impact forces to more than 2.5 times
body weight.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with preexisting health problems.
The heart rate monitor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining
heart rate trends in general.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal
is to burn fat, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in
your training zone.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or incline
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle
number in your training zone.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on
the heart to pump blood to the muscles and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill until your heart
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes
of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise.
carbohydrate calories for en-
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers define your “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
You can measure your heart rate using the heart rate
monitor.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in
your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20
minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exer
cise—never hold your breath.
A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months, you may
complete up to five workouts each week if desired.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then
relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and
back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings,
lower back and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.
